18 ADDITIONS TO H-CLUB

By Barney Fixico

After going through a week of careful attention to masters and with a day and a half of hard work, 18 lettermen were sworn into the H-Club last month.

The initiation began officially on Monday, December 6, but the main part, when they had to dress as hoboes and girls, began on Friday, December 10, and ended at midnight Saturday, December 11.

After the initiation, the new members were guests to old members at a feast in the boys' gym with the menu consisting of hot dogs, chile and crackers, potato chips, pie, ice cream and pop.

New members include Arthur Bruner Jr., Silas Bullett, Floyd Brokeshoulder, Stephen Albert, Jerry Diamond, John Edwards, Thomas Johnson, Wayne Jimboy, Joe Jackson, James Lawrence, John Leading Fox, Ted Lewis, Billy Mills, Allen Nephew, Jimmie Lasley, Edwin Porter, Elliot Ryal and Kenneth Todakonzie. They increase the membership to 38.

The new members were sworn in by Vice President Jerome Masqua Sunday, December 18.
